Target

target

Unique identifier for the replication target system. This property is specified when an action is initially configured and cannot be edited.

Pool

pool

Storage pool on the target where this project will be replicated. This property is specified when an action is initially configured and not shown thereafter.

Target Pool

target_pool

Storage pool on the target where this project will be replicated. This property is displayed when editing an existing replication action.

Power icon

enabled

When enabled (true in the CLI), replication updates can be sent. When disabled (false in the CLI), the power icon is not highlighted and replication updates cannot be sent.

Export data path

export_path

Specifies the path to an NFS share for this action, using the format: nfs://server/path. This property exports the replication stream to a file on an NFS server, which can be physically moved to the remote target site, and then imported to a replication target. For procedures, see Creating an Offline Replication BUI, CLI.

Limit bandwidth

max_bandwidth

Specifies a maximum speed for this replication update (in terms of amount of data transferred over the network per second). Changing this property during a replication update takes effect immediately, enabling you to limit bandwidth during an initial replication update.

Enable SSL-encryption

use_ssl

When set, encrypts data on the wire using SSL. Using this feature may have an impact on per-action replication performance.

Disable compression

compression

The replication stream is compressed by default. Disable if compression is provided by another means, such as a WAN accelerator. For more information, see Compressed Replication.

Enable deduplication

dedup

When set, enables deduplication on replication streams. For more information, see Deduplicated Replication.

Include Snapshots

include_snaps

Determines whether replication updates include non-replication snapshots. For details, see Replication Snapshot Management.

Include clone origin as data

include_clone_ origin_as_data

Controls the replication of each share that was cloned from a share that is external to the replication package on the target. Select this option to insert a complete copy of the clone origin snapshot's data into the replica of the clone. If you deselect this option, a clone created from an external origin snapshot will share storage with the replica of the clone origin snapshot that resides in replication target's pool. Sharing storage saves space, but if the replication target does not contain the external clone origin snapshot, the replication of the clone will fail. For details, see Cloning a Replication Package or Share.

Recovery point objective [_] unit of time

recovery_point_ objective

Specifies the maximum tolerable amount of data loss in the event of a disaster or major outage. The recovery point objective (RPO) can be specified as days, hours, minutes, or seconds. Set this property when creating or editing a replication action. This property is only used in conjunction with the replica lag warning and error alerts.

Replica lag warning alert [_] % of Recovery Point Objective

replica_lag_warning_ alert

Specifies a limit represented as a percentage of the RPO. The source appliance generates a minor alert when the replica lag exceeds the specified limit. When the replica lag falls below this value, a minor alert indicates the replica lag is within the warning limit.

Replica lag error alert [_] % of Recovery Point Objective

replica_lag_error_ alert

Specifies a limit represented as a percentage of the RPO. The source appliance generates a major alert when the replica lag exceeds the specified limit. When the replica lag falls below this value, a minor alert indicates the replica lag is within the error limit.

Update frequency: Scheduled or Continuous

continuous (True or False)

Select Scheduled or Continuous. For more information, see Replication Update Frequency.

Schedule

schedule

Snapshots

autosnaps

BUI: The Snapshots subtab in a replication action displays configured automatic snapshot schedules, and allows you to change the number of snapshots retained on the target.

CLI: Automatic snapshot retention settings are configured through child node autosnaps. See the following table for more information.

For information about automatic snapshot management, see Replication Automatic Snapshot Management.

Automatically scheduled snapshots, with sub-node automatic. To change the number of snapshots retained for a replication package, select an individual automatic node and modify the keep property.

For more information, see Configuring Automatic Snapshot Retention on a Target (CLI).

Statistics for the most recent replication update, and the accumulated statistics over the lifetime of this replication action. Statistics are updated after replication update completion.

For more information on the stats node properties, see Deduplicated Replication.

id

The replication action's unique identifier. The identifier can be used to select an action or its associated replication package using the syntax: select id=<uniqueid>.

origin_pkg_id

The unique identifier of the replication package from which this action was created when the package was reversed. The origin package identifier is displayed after the first successful replication update completes.

target_id

The unique identifier of the replication target object that describes the target of this replication action.

bytes_sent

Number of bytes sent to the replication target.

estimated_size

Estimated size of the data to be replicated.

estimated_time_left

Estimated time remaining until completion of the replication update.

average_throughput

Describes the average replication throughput.

state

Describes if replication is in progress or not. Values are sending or idle.

state_description

Specifies details on replication progress. The different states are:

State Building deduplication tables is displayed only if the project or share has deduplication enabled.

export_pending

Indicates whether an export is pending. Value is true or false.

offline

Indicates whether the replication update is offline. Value is true or false.

next_update

Date and time when the next attempt will be made. This value could be a date (for a scheduled update), Sync now, or continuous.

replica_lag

Current replica lag with a format of hh:mm:ss.

replica_data_timestamp

Creation time of the snapshot used in the last successful update.

last_sync

The last time an update was successfully sent. This value may be unknown if the system has not sent a successful update since boot.

last_try

The last time an update was attempted. This value may be unknown if the system has not attempted to send an update since boot.

last_result

The result of the last update. Value is success or failed.

replica_lag_over_warning_limit

true when the replica lag has exceeded the warning limit specified by the combination of the recovery_point_objective and the replica_lag_warning_alert threshold.

replica_lag_over_error_limit

true when the replica lag has exceeded the error limit specified by the combination of the recovery_point_objective and the replica_lag_error_alert threshold.
